Business outlook
Pros
As a consultant in the Global Data Warehousing group, I was impressed with Pfizer's focus on their core competency, namely pharmaceuticals. While they outsource a great deal of their support services, e.g. information technology, they do not do so at the expense of excellence.
Cons
About 3 years ago, Pfizer made a corporate decision to do away with independent contractors, in favor or "employed" consultants under a few vendor partners. While this minimizes the risk of contractor/employee lawsuits, it also limits the pool of excellent candidates.
